Police issue warning about illegal parking in Sheffield after officers issue £100 fines at Padley Gorge
A warning has been issued about illegal parking in Sheffield after officers in neighbouring Derbyshire issued £100 fines at Padley Gorge.
Forty motorists were hit with £100 fines yesterday as people flocked to the Peak District beauty spot as Britain’s heatwave continued.
Drivers parked illegally next to double white lines on the B6521 were targeted.
In addition to the fines handed out, offending motorists also received three penalty points.
Derbyshire Police branded the parking ‘dangerous’.
Following suit, South Yorkshire Police has issued a warning that action will also be taken against motorists parking illegally in Sheffield.
The Sheffield North West Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “It is an offence to park next to double white lines.
“We will be enforcing this legislation in areas within North West Sheffield including Rivelin Valley Road and Manchester Road.
“Signage will be improved, but as it's in the highway code, you've already had your warning.”
